I confirm the bug. But I don't think disabling Ctrl-C (SIGINT) handling by
default is a good idea. Proper Ctrl-C support seems like a fundamental feature
for a command line debugger.
However, I think the bug is easily fixable w/o changing SIGINT handling.
Basically, just put try/except around signal.signal, catch the ValueError and
proceed. Would this approach solve your problem?
Patch attached.
PS. and here is a small program demonstrating the bug (just run it and execute
"c" command at pdb prompt)
import threading
import pdb
def start_pdb():
pdb.Pdb().set_trace()
x = 1
y = 1
t = threading.Thread( target=start_pdb)
t.start()
